'76 Turbo with 601,000+ miles, original owner
funny story....link at the bottom.
#930 PORSCHE 911 TURBO 176.5 MPH Seventy-three-year-old Bill MacEachern is the original owner of this 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo, and he's put all 601,000 miles on it himself. That includes the drive from Canada to Texas for this event. In fact, his son Brian, a vintage-car racer, got to drive it for the first time here at the Texas Mile, and his reaction was "Holy ****, shift. Holy ****, shift. Holy ****, shift." That colorful reaction happened because the 3.4-liter flat six runs 17.5 psi of boost through custom intercoolers into twin-plug heads and produces something like 550 hp at the wheels. Bill, whose fastest run was within 1 mph of his son's, has been a speed freak for some time. When his boys were little, he used to strap them in the back seat to visit racetracks around North America. On one particularly brisk trip home, he pointed to the speedometer needle and said to his sons: "See that? Don't let me ever catch you going faster than 150 mph." Good advice.
